Making a shrimp rack

[Ruke]

I really like the Easy Aqua Shrimp 3 Tubes Pyramid Terracotta Cave but at
£11.99 before postage i wondered if i could make my own.

I have a tub of spare ceramic media from my old filter

So tried putting them together

Then made them longer like the Pyramid Terracotta Cave

What do people think.
Might try making real bamboo ones next

yep simple and nice which glue did u use ? and have u used them yet will be intrested to hear what the shrimp think !

 

[Lindy]

My shrimp never bothered with the bamboo tube they had. If they have plants they will prefer plants..

Used super glue but letting it dry and will soak it in water before putting in the tank.
Also going to improve the look by putting some java moss on top

They like one ceramic ring on its own as i dropped this one in the tank ages ago and they use it.
Sorry for the crap pic silly shrimp liked to move when iphone was focusing but it will give u an idea

I would advise you to use marine epoxy instead to bind the blocks. It is much safer than superglue

Some good ideas.
I drilled about a dozen holes through a piece of bogwood,and the shrimps love it.
It also made the wod sink a lot quicker

An update with some moss attached
